I read 41 books last year. Here’s a breakdown:

10 by male authors

11 by Latino authors, 2 by Asians, 3 by Blacks, and 1 by a Native American.

8 mysteries

1 science fiction

3 romances

3 historical fiction

All the books I read were fiction but one, Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime. I see that I still don’t read much science fiction despite making an effort to explore the genre a couple of years ago. In genre fiction, I will always prefer mysteries. I’m glad that I read a selection of fiction by diverse authors. We need diverse books.
